Full moon goon friday the 13th style today. Everyone stay safe.

Already affected one truck driver, who tried going under the railroad bridge on Water Street in Augusta - height 11'10" while most semi boxes are 12-13 feet.  Messy commute go-around as the busy street was totally blocked.  That bridge catches a truck every 2-3 years.

Peel the roof back like the old herring fish cans with the church key in those instances.

Omg

Because of the extreme historic activity of this season, even the Greek Alphabet was exhausted. Thus, the Hebrew Alphabet was used for the first time ever. The first three letters of the Hebrew Alphabet were used this year.

That’s a good way to make eveyone aware of CC.  :facepalm:

Out of the 55 depressions that formed, 53 became tropical storms. 44 became hurricanes, and 29 became major hurricanes; five of these reached Category 6 intensity and higher. Most of the storms affected land. The most destructive 

 

Sounds likely as none hit New England

Damn we were just in Farmington during Labor Day weekend.  We usually go to the Memorial or 4th of July parades as well when we are vacationing up there and the firetrucks are always a  big part of it. Must really hit home for Tamarack.  Really sad to hear. 

Our home is 5 straight-line miles from the site, and my wife thought a tree had hit the house or something, as the building creaked and shook like it does in our strongest winds.  Our dog was thoroughly spooked.  Folks heard it in Livermore Falls, 12-14 miles away.
Still 5 in hospitals, mostly ICU.  The facility's maintenance worker (now in a Boston hospital) came in early to put away some tables in the basement, smelled gas, and had folks evacuate right away.  Propane is heavier than air so workers upstairs (8 or 9 that day) smelled nothing.  As bad as things were/are, it could've been much worse. Also, the kids from the trailer park behind the blast site had been right in front of the building until the schoolbus came about 5 minutes before things happened.  Pics showing the widespread coating of shredded of insulation with papers blowing about reminded me, and many others, of Lower Manhattan after the towers collapsed.
